   a strap member comprises the other of the one of the hinge pin or the hinge flange associated with the first end of the second portion of the body for rotatably coupling the strap member to the body and an end portion which engages the latch member wherein with the end portion of the strap member engaged to the latch member, the latch member is accessible through the spaced apart configuration of the bracket member.   
     
     
         2 . The clamp assembly of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first portion further includes a tab member which includes a third side aligned with the first side;   the tab member defines an aperture which extends through the tab member; and   a center axis of the aperture extends spaced apart from the second portion of the body.   
     
     
         3 . The clamp assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the second portion of the body defines a recess positioned spaced apart from the center axis of the aperture. 
     
     
         4 . The clamp assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the body is constructed of a nonconductive thermoplastic. 
     
     
         5 . The clamp assembly of  claim 1 , further includes a cushion collar section positioned overlying and extending along the second side of the second portion. 
     
     
         6 . The clamp assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the curvilinear direction has a radius of curvature. 
     
     
         7 . (canceled) 
     
     
         8 . The clamp assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the hinge flange extends from the first end of the second portion. 
     
     
         9 . The clamp assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the hinge flange is spaced apart from the plane defined by the first side of the first portion. 
     
     
         10 . The clamp assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the hinge flange defines an opening which faces in the direction of a plane defined by the first side of the first portion of the body. 
     
     
         11 . The clamp assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the strap member comprises a hinge pin positioned at a first end of the strap member and configured to be positioned to enter into the hinge flange through the opening such that strap member is permitted rotational movement relative to the body with the hinge pin engaged with the hinge flange. 
     
     
         12 . The clamp assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the strap member is constructed of nonconductive thermoplastic. 
     
     
         13 . The clamp assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the strap member has a first side which extends in a curvilinear direction. 
     
     
         14 . The clamp assembly of  claim 13 , wherein the curvilinear direction of the first side of the strap member has a radius. 
     
     
         15 . The clamp assembly of  claim 14 , wherein the radius of the curvilinear direction of the first side of the strap member is a same dimension as a radius for the curvilinear direction of the second side of the second portion of the body. 
     
     
         16 . The clamp assembly of  claim 11 , further includes a cushion collar section positioned overlying and extending along the first side of the strap member. 
     
     
         17 . The clamp assembly of  claim 11 , wherein:
 the strap member includes a wall member positioned across the end portion of the strap member in a direction in angular relationship to the curvilinear direction of the second side of the second portion of the body;   the end portion is positioned spaced apart from the first end of the strap member and the end portion extends along the strap member and terminates at a second end of the strap member.   
     
     
         18 . The clamp assembly of  claim 17 , wherein:
 the strap member has a reduction in thickness dimension along at least a portion of the end portion of the strap member; and   the second portion of the body has an end portion which terminates at the second end of the second portion of the body has a reduction in thickness dimension along at least a portion of the end portion of the second portion of the body.
